    Default My Annual Stress Test is Tomorrow (Monday)

    Last year at this time I was still smoking 2 packs a day. My stress test went well for the heavy smoker that I was, but I'm anxious to see what the results are this year and whether my endurance has improved.

    Wish me luck! I'll report back when I can.

    All went well!
    Everything in normal range. Increased my time on the treadmill over last year (Woot!)




    Told Cardiologist that I quit smoking and told him that I was still using Nicotine and showed him my E-cig. He said "Well at least it's not smoking but now you can work on getting off that thing." Hard-ass.

    Gep, Congrats on your test! You studied hard for it (on this board). You get a gold star and a breath of fresh air.

    My Mother's Dr. Just walked away saying, It has a LOT of problems! I did try and talk to him about Mom using it.
    The V.A. Doc told hubby, you should have gotten off cigarettes 40 years ago. Mike replied, you guys shouldn't have put them in my MRE's! (Military speak for "meals ready to eat") Mike was a 2 time Vietnam vet.
    I swear nothing making them happy, unless it's thier scotch and soda with a pipe at night!

    Mary

    I just ask them, "So, I've quite smoking, what's going to kill me now?".

    Cause something is, we don't get out of here alive.

    Some docs have no sense of humor.
